    New Mexico

    0-8 in the resident pool? I don't need that kind of negativity in my life!

    New Mexico

    You and me both. I thought being a resident now would finally put a tag in my pocket but no dice.

    New Mexico

    Apparently being a resident is no better than nonresident. Drew 3rd choice archery deer and ugly red for elk and barbary. It's going to be one boring fall!

    New Mexico Draw

    Elk, deer, barbary, bighorn solo and then pronghorn with my wife. Hopefully now that I'm a resident I will finally draw the deer tag I've wanted for five years. [emoji1696] I have no idea what to expect with the changes to pronghorn and barbary.

    Understanding Mountain Thermals

    Same for me in New Mexico! No matter which direction I turn to adjust to the wind, it's always at my back.

    YOUTH elk hunt recommendations

    I would have suggested one of the youth encouragement hunts in New Mexico except they changed the rules this year and no longer allow nonresident youth to participate. [emoji2959]

    What are the best tasting muleys eating?

    Between my wife and I we've taken six mule deer from the plains and desert and all have been phenomenal table fare. I'd even go so far to say I prefer mule deer over whitetail.

    Ne new mexico rut

    And very few tags available for nonresidents. Some of the farmers hate them though and might allow private access.

    Is the marketing of hunting destroying hunting?

    As Wingshooter and Hodgeman mentioned, I think the loss of hunting properties to development and ridiculous lease costs and rules is one side of the rapidly growing popularity of western hunting. I also think the economy has a large role as well. Obviously I don't hope for another economic...

    First Time Applying to New Mexico

    For elk tags 51A and 51B are one unit. I think the A and B designation is for mule deer management purposes.

    I wonder what the 'announcement' will be....

    Hopefully that the stupidity is coming to an end. I'm tired of the anxiety of no income.

    NM now requires license purchase for draw - impact?

    Speaking as a longtime nonresident but this being my first year to put in as a resident, I can assure you it still isn't "cheap". Just yesterday I began filling in my application choices and the total bill, so far, is $500. That won't include turkey either. Compare that to Texas where a...

    NM now requires license purchase for draw - impact?

    I think there will be a slight downturn in NR applicants from last year's record high. Significant though? No. I think many people are sick of throwing money in the lease system and instead are putting that money toward public land hunts and still coming out ahead.

    Boot shopping history for wide feet

    I am going to resurrect this thread because sadly it seems Cabela's is phasing out the Meindl models. I cannot find the Perfekt boot at all and of the few models offered, no wide widths in my size (8.5). :mad: So now it is back to the drawing board. Unfortunately I did not review this thread...

    We were running around the Prairie Chicken areas. I hunted that Loco Hills/Maljamar area a lot in 2015-2016 and always found a ton of blues. At that time I hunted with my retriever and she understood the scaled quail game well. Now I have an English setter so we try to target only bobs...

    Scaled quail

    Pollo - I should clarify, the quail hunting was in SE NM. I tagged along to Lubbock with my wife who had Dr appointments while I met up with a friend and we kicked around some our usual haunts. The pheasants up here are few and far between but better than the quail population. I have yet to see...
